SPINAL TUBERCULOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Spinal tuberculosis is involved 1-3 % of all cases of tuberculosis. Spinal tuberculosis is the most dangerous type of skeletal tuberculosis. When spinal column is involved, it can result with neurological deficit, kyphosis and spinal deformity. Although the development of more accurate imaging modalities helps the early diagnoses, we can still see late diagnosed tuberculosis patients. There is not a standard surgical procedure for these patients. Surgical planning must be made carefully, complication rates must be decreased and patients living conditions must be cared.
